#17: Fortune Frenzy

Cool fortune cookies.  The idea’s that simple.  Don’t you feel betrayed when you crack open a fortune cookie only to find a slip of paper with some cliched proverb on it?  A fortune is “A new business undertaking will succeed handily!”  A fortune is not, “Honesty is the best policy.”  There are no Confucianisms or I-Ching lines that count as fortunes, because, and stop me if I’m going too fast, they don’t contain any reference to future events!  Anyway, my idea for a long time has been to make niche fortune cookies that a) have really cool fortunes, or b) have quirky sayings on them.  So in terms of b), I think it would be a blast to open a fortune cookie and read, “The man in the blue shirt is trying to kill you!”  So Fortune Frenzy is such a company.  We craft loving fortunes, outsource cookie production, leverage my San Franciscan and printing connections, and do it all through a passive stream website.
